“Why the hell would Jeb Bush post this today?”
Governor Jeb Bush provoked a backlash after he sent a strange tweet about presidents who died on July 4, with many taking it as a veiled dig at President Trump.
“Three Presidents Die on July 4th: Just a Coincidence?” tweeted Bush along with a link to a story which explained how, “Three Founding Father Presidents—John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and James Monroe—died on July 4.”

The main thing in George W. Bush's favor is that Al Gore and the traitor John F. Kerry would have been much worse. W. had two Supreme Court picks, one of which has turned out to be a solid conservative, the other a wishy-washy one, but Gore or Kerry would have given us flaming left-wingers who would have solidified a left-wing majority on the court for a long time to come.
I don’t disagree. W didn’t help things with his “see ya at the bill signing!” open borders NWO agenda.
A lot of Americans never recovered from the 2008 crash including me. They FReepmail me sometimes. I have never forgotten that it happened on W’s watch. Nor have I forgotten W hates our anti-NWO President and luvs Obama.
Have an awesome forth.
Just made some corn on the cob, about to do brauts and some deviled eggs.
Made a chocolate - banana pie with caramel dressing. It’s very simple for single dads and single moms that are out there. Yeah, a few WalMart products - easy and cheap - if anybody wants the simple recipe, ping back and I’ll post it in a few. About 15-20 minutes of work and $5 in ingredients (roughly - especially if you already have milk).
Bizarre is as bizarre tweets and Yeb is bizarre. Any questions?
“”Legend has it that Adams final words were ‘Thomas Jefferson still survives.’””
I remembered that it was the same year and now I do recall that those were Jefferson’s last words but darned if I can remember where I read it.
He might get along with Buttguy ... fellow a-holes.
It’s not surprising at lal. I am browsing as I type this through a book I just bought: “The Adams-Jefferson Letters” —these two were the closest of friends and intellectual soulmates. Abigail also chimes in between the two ever so eloquently. Very strong bonds of affection and just...incredible minds...all..
That’s not just bizarre. That’s a direct threat. Round up the Bush family and send them to Gitmo.
Isnt it ironic then that Jeb and the Bushes happen to be the heavy drinkers whereas Trump does not...
this ain’t just some random bloke spouting off
“Please clap”
(Crickets chirping.......nobody clapping......LMAO...)
I will never forget that 100% silly + asinine moment, thx for reminding!
bkmk
Jeb, get help.
Not even Witch Hillary is doing this yet!
Wonder what your son has to say about it?
You know, the very last Bush who just might have a career in politics if you don’t sabotage it.
And James Monroe died on July 4 a few years later. His plantation was next door to Monticello.
Jeb and his brother Jr. are both douchebag pigs, is that a coincidence?
Notice the title on this, doughty boy.
I’m sure you are capable of seeing the “coincidence.”
No connection to Bush, no connection to Trump.
Three Presidents Die on July 4th: Just a Coincidence?

It is a fact of American history that three Founding Father Presidents—John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and James Monroe—died on July 4, the Independence Day anniversary. But was it just a coincidence?
On July 4, 1831, James Monroe, the fifth President, died at the age of 73 at his son-in-law’s home in New York City. Monroe had been ill for some time and newspapers had reported on Monroe’s illness before his passing.
Local and national newspapers were also quick to report after Monroe’s death that they thought his July 4 passing was a “remarkable” coincidence, at the least, since Thomas Jefferson and John Adams had both also died on July 4, 1826 – the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
The oddness of the events wasn’t lost on the New York Evening Post in 1831, when the newspaper founded by Alexander Hamilton called it a “coincidence that has no parallel”: “Three of the four presidents who have left the scene of their usefulness and glory expired on the anniversary of the national birthday, a day which of all others, had it been permitted them to choose [they] would probably had selected for the termination of their careers,” the Post reported on July 5, 1831.
The New York Commercial Advertiser wrote on July 5, 1831: “It would be difficult to find a parallel in history, three of them have been called away in a good all age, on the same proud anniversary.”
And then the Boston Traveler wondered about the coincidence on July 8. “Again our national anniversary has been marked by one of those events, which it may be scarcely permitted to ascribe the chance.”
Then the Frederick, Maryland Town Herald marked Monroe’s passing on July 9, 1831 by also noting the “presidential coincidence”: “This have three of our revolutionary presidents departed this life on the anniversary of our independence; presenting the most remarkable tissue of coincidences that have marked the history of nations,” the newspaper said.
The death of these three presidents on the same day of the year was a long shot. There is an interesting blog post at the Boston University’s History Society that excerpts Margaret P. Battin’s research on the coincidental deaths of Adams and Jefferson.
“Given the insufficient historical evidence available, we can’t know the truth about why Adams and Jefferson died on the same day,” Battin said. (She didn’t include Monroe in her study.) Battin evaluated the circumstances under six different criteria, ranging from mere coincidence and divine intervention, to the men’s willingness or desire to die on the anniversary day.
“We can reflect on whether it would make a difference to us if one or another of these explanations turned out to be true,” she concluded. “After all, the six possibilities these explanations raise are central to the very questions about death and dying that are so controversial today.”
But back in 1826, Daniel Webster’s eulogy for Adams and Jefferson spoke to a point that many people believed: that something other than coincidence was involved.
“The concurrence of their death on the anniversary of Independence has naturally awakened stronger emotions,” Webster said. “It cannot but seem striking and extraordinary, that these two should live to see the fiftieth year from the date of that act, that they should complete that year, and that then, on the day which had fast linked forever their own fame with their country’s glory, the heavens should open to receive them both at once.”
“As their lives themselves were the gifts of Providence, who is not willing to recognize in their happy termination, as well as in their long continuance, proofs that our country and its benefactors are objects of His care?”
“Three of the four presidents who have left the scene of their usefulness and glory expired on the anniversary of the national birthday, a day which of all others, had it been permitted them to choose [they] would probably had selected for the termination of their careers,” the Post reported on July 5, 1831.
“This have three of our revolutionary presidents departed this life on the anniversary of our independence; presenting the most remarkable tissue of coincidences that have marked the history of nations,” the newspaper said.
“Isn’t it to acknowledge the supernatural element of the holiday?”
I know that the various wars that modern day Israel has fought have miracolous elements to them and they have been documented.
I suppose there is a book about the various ones during our Revolution as well. I know that I have read about the strange fog that shrouded Washington’s escape from New York early in the war. Slipping between the British ships that barricaded the island. (Fog wasn’t normal for that time of year iirc)
At least once - or perhaps a couple of times, Washington would come back from a battle with a bullet hole (holes?) in his coat but avoided injury.
I’m guessing there is a whole list that somebody has put together.
Okay - here is one:

Most of them (a quick skimming of the article) seem to be related to weather.
The fog.
Snow blowing into face of the Hessians in Trenton.
Cornwallis waiting a day to attack Washington’s troops, stuck in the mud. But then a quick freeze during the night, allowing Washington’s troops to escape under darkness.
